Things are progressing well in Berkeley, and I’m hoping (weather depending) to depart for Hawaii next weekend – I’ve been getting a ton of help from my new west coast friends – Especially Captain Ted + Family, Adam + Kathy, and Bain – From driving me around to provision, to helping out with anything and everything when they can, but most of all, becoming good friends, who I will end up leaving – Like I do with all the wonderful people I meet: The worst part of all this traveling for sure.
I’m hoping to have remote updates from my Pacific crossing, and this is a test post… I will write a more detailed blog before I depart, however I still have many things to organise, complete, and plan for.
My brother (ryanjaffe.com.au) is in Texas trying to get on his feet with the giant motorcycle he’s inherited – If you’re in the area, and have any contacts or just want to hear the funny Australian accent, I’m sure he’d be keen.

Without question, the many goodbyes to new friends has been the single hardest part of the cruising life.

it is exciting that the journey will be continuing soon, hope that the winds are favourable and that the nooks and crannies of constellation are holding all that you need. May Neptune smooth your course!
